Why Men don't Get It N Women don't Get It Too???

Today, I went for a seminar and the speaker was Mr Allan Pease, author of the Bestseller Books - Why Men Don't Listen and Why Women Can't Read Maps; Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus.

This is a very enriching and educational seminar to let the opposite sex understand each other better. It is an eye-opener too when he discussed the huge differences between men and women. I shall not go into the details of the differences here. If you are interested to find out more, you can go to his website to check it out.

The question to ponder is ... ...

Why are the breakups and divorce rates so high? And yet why some couples can managed their relationship for so long and they are always seem so in love with each other for so many years?

I guess is how we handle the problems ...

We know that there are huge differences between men and women. But when the differences occur, some of us know how to react positively to the differences and understand the differences and thus manage to converge and come up with a win win solution for both.

But for some of us, when the difference occurs, we choose to be firm on our own point of view and refuse to budge or refuse to put ourselves in the other party's shoes and choose not to discuss the problems. When the problems keep mounting high up to a height of a mountain, we can't take it anymore and say "That's it. I don't want to continue anymore". And this leaves with a sad ending.

We like / love our partners, because we are different, we are opposites, thus the term "opposite sex". If we choose someone who is the same / similar as us, then we will be bored! But if we don't know how to manage our differences well, problems arise again.

Like the example that Mr Allan Pease had given us - his teenage daughter is very excited about her new boyfriend, saying that he is very cute and she enjoys finding things for him which he can't see (common characteristics of men who 'can't see' things at a near distance). But after one year of courtship, she tells her father that she had enough of him cos this stupid man can't even find the butter in the fridge which is staring right in front of him! Hehehe.

So what is the solution to this problem then?

The solution is to accept that men and women are different, but we must respect and give way to each other and compromise with each other, so that the relationship can continue to grow and bloom.

Dating does not ends with marriage. In fact dating continues after marriage cos it provides the opportunity to love each other more and know each other better and add value to the marriage. Like what Mr Allan Pease had said "In the workplace, he and his wife are equal. But on a social and personal level, he is the man of the family protecting and care for his wife and family. And his wife is happy too, cos this is what all women want - to have a man to love and care for her and he is happy too cos he can bring out the characteristics of a man and be a real hero in his wife's eyes."


So open your heart and let your love flows ...
Don't worry about what the future holds for you...
Your heart will tell you the answer ...

Don't say "I Won't Say I Am In LoVe" ... ...
You can't lied to your heart ... ...
Ask your heart "Can You Feel The LoVe Tonight" ... ...
And your heart will tell you the answer you seek ... ...
And you realize that you are in "A Whole New World" ... ...
With the special someone that makes your heart beats so fast ... ...
Aw Aw Aw ... ... So Ssswweeeettt => ... ...
